History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"Liu Bang has been fighting since he raised his army, and even before his death, he had been working hard for the long-term stability of the dynasty he established."

"At that time, he made the following personnel arrangements for the Han Dynasty, which can be regarded as a model for future emperors."

"At that time, Empress Lu and her power were already quite powerful, and Liu Bang's wish to establish a crown prince was also in vain. He considered the safety of Liu's Han Dynasty in the future and arranged everything in advance."

"First, he arranged for Cao Shen, Wang Ling, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others who were loyal to the Han Dynasty to succeed Xiao He in the future. He also said, "Whoever comforts Liu will definitely succeed."

"These people were used quite accurately, especially Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, who played a key role in the subsequent pacification of Zhu Lu."

"Second, he arranged for all his sons to go to places to exercise."

"Later, although Liu Bang's sons were persecuted by Empress Lu, only two acting kings, Liu Heng and Huainan King Liu Chang, were left, and they retained the fire of victory."

"Of course, at that time, there were also the mature sons of Liu Fei, the eldest concubine, Liu Xiang, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xingju. It was these grandsons who raised the banner of "anti-Lü"."

"In the end, Liu Bang's four sons harvested the fruits of final victory, bringing the Han Dynasty back on the right track."

"Whether it is the policies of the early Han Dynasty or the subsequent military and economic arrangements, Liu Bang's ability cannot be underestimated."

"Policies that have pros and cons, that is, knowing the king of the opposite sex."

"During the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Liu Bang used his "generous" characteristics and showed great "sincerity" - he was granted the title of king and actively formed a "counter-project" alliance."

"Zhang Er, Peng Yue, Zang Tu, Wu Rui, Ying Bu and others took their own troops and joined Liu Bang's sect one after another, and they were also the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty."

"Later, when everyone surrounded and suppressed Xiang Yu and Liu Bang conquered the world, he rewarded these heroes" and granted seven kings with different surnames (including the later Lu Wan, eight), including the five mentioned before, as well as the original There are two Han Xins in Liu Bang's camp. "

"Of course, these kings with different surnames were not Liu Bang's original intention. They were just a means to win over people's hearts at the time."

"But these people are always a hidden danger. Liu Bang's thoughts may be the thoughts of most emperors. These people conquer the world with me. If I am gone, how can my weak descendants control these people?"

"So, he ruthlessly began to "clean up" these kings with different surnames, and the process of getting rid of these people was very strategic. In summary, it was "treat them differently and eliminate them step by step."

“The first is adjustment and weakening.”

"He adjusted the two Han Xin fiefdoms and moved them out of strategic areas."

"The first thing to attack was Qi King Han Xin, who had a heavy army. After Xiang Yu was eliminated, Liu Bang immediately removed Han Xin from his military power, and then transferred him out of Qi to the relatively remote Chu area to serve as King of Chu."

"The second one was Han Wangxin. He was in the old land of Korea at first, but it was a fortress in the Central Plains. Liu Bang used Han Wangxin as an excuse for his bravery, so he transferred him to the area bordering the Xiongnu north of Taiyuan."

“The second step is classification processing.”

"The first type of people are those who force rebellion and send troops to conquer."

"Including Yan Wang Zang Tu, Lu Wan, Han Wang Xin, and Huainan Wang Yingbu."

"Liu Bang personally led the expedition and killed Zang Tu. King Xin of Han fled to the Huns and was later beheaded by Han generals. Lu Wan died in the Huns, and Yingbu was also beheaded after retreating."

"The second is to kill someone with a borrowed knife and conspire to execute him." "Including Han Xin and Peng Yue, who had been demoted to Huaiyin Marquis, they were all killed by Empress Lu."

"The third is to use the crime to downgrade."

"Zhang Er died relatively early. His son Zhang Ao was Liu Bang's son-in-law. He was originally safe, but later he was involved in a rebellion case. Although he was spared the death penalty, he was also removed from the royal title."

"In the end, only King Wu Rui of Changsha was spared. This country was remote and isolated from the world. With Zhang Liang's advice, he was able to die a good death. After five generations, the country without heirs was eliminated."

"In general, after Liu Bang won the Chu-Han War, he spent a few years basically getting rid of the kings with different surnames who he had no choice but to ennoble."

"Although the process was a bit cruel and some people were a bit unfair, for Liu Bang and his Han Empire, these people had both ability and prestige, as well as territory and military strength. They were always a hidden danger to the stability of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang had to Do."

"In order to consolidate his rule, Liu Bang began to enfeoff the princes and kings after getting rid of the kings with different surnames."

"Brother Liu Bang died early, and his wife was not very kind to Liu Bang. Liu Bang only pursued Uncle Liu as a marquis, and his son Liu Xin also only made him a marquis."

"The second brother Liu Zhong was granted the title of acting king, and Liu Jiao was granted the title of King of Chu."

"The eldest son Liu Fei was granted the title of King of Qi in the prosperous land of Qi. His favorite third son Liu Ruyi was appointed King of Zhao, fourth son Liu Heng was appointed King of Dai, fifth son Liu Hui was appointed King of Liang, and sixth son Liu You was appointed King of Zhao. The seventh son, Liu Chang, became the King of Huainan, and the eighth son, Liu Jian, became the King of Yan."

"In addition to his brothers and sons, Liu Bang also made his clan brother Liu Jia the King of Jing. This Liu Jia accompanied Liu Bang on many campaigns and made many military exploits. This clan brother died in the battle against Yingbu."

"Soon after, considering the importance of Wu in Jiangdong and the need for a brave clan member to guard it, Liu Bang appointed his nephew Liu Bi, Liu Zhong's son, as King of Wu to guard the important southeastern area."

"In the long run, there are advantages and disadvantages to enfeoffing kings with the same surname. It is difficult to judge whether it is reasonable."

"But for the newly founded Han Dynasty, it was one of the ways to stabilize the regime."

"First of all, at that time, the entire society had an "anti-Qin" trend, believing that Qin's system had problems, and the county system was also one of them. Of course, the county system was in line with the development needs of the times."

"Although enfeoffment is a product of the old times, it also conforms to the trend of people's thoughts at that time. Therefore, the Han Dynasty implemented a hybrid local governance system of "prefectures and counties + enfeoffment". The counties and counties were mainly in the central area of ​​Han Dynasty, and the enfeoffments were basically distributed in the surrounding areas. It shows the tendency to defend the center and effectively consolidates the imperial border defense."

"Another factor in enfeoffing kings with the same surname was to prevent sudden changes in the central government, which played a key role in the subsequent eradication of Zhu Lu."

"After Liu Bang destroyed the kings with different surnames, although Liu Bang granted him the title of king with the same surname, as Empress Lu's power grew, he began to worry that the Han Dynasty would be usurped by the Lu family, so in his later years he made a "white horse alliance" with the princes and ministers . "

"First, the country will last forever and provide benefits to its descendants."

"Second, if someone who is not the Liu family is a king, the whole world will attack him. If he fails to do what he has done and ignores it, the whole world will punish him."

""White Horse Alliance" has always been hailed as the masterpiece of conspiracy."

"First of all, Liu Bang tightly tied the political power of the Han Dynasty to the interests of the princes and ministers. As long as the Han Dynasty exists, their descendants can continue to enjoy glory and wealth."

"Secondly, to consolidate the imperial power and the Liu clan, no one without the surname Liu can claim the title of king. This article confirms the legitimacy and uniqueness of the title of king."
